Still looking... I don't really want the fuel injected, I'd like a carbed one that was running before pulled and its okay if it needs to be freshened up a bit... I need the motor, transmission, and driveline together as it is the only thing holding up my car project.

I'm needing a good engine, transmission, and driveline for my project.

I would use the SR but what I want to copy requires an inline 6.. I just figure since I was looking at L28's I might as well just jump into something newer. I think it might have been what sorta was the tinkering that eventually lead to the beloved Z. http://www.datsun.org/fairlady/Oct2006.htm It has a link to the history of the Fairlady S I'm in the middle of a frame up restore on the car and will be able to freely cut the body. I'm pulling the body off the frame be able to see about placing the motor properly and touch up rust spots. I'll have to double check but I think I'd only be gaining 100ish pounds by swapping to the RB over an SR as the R16 in the car is cast iron and weighs more then the SR. Currently with most of the parts for my car I'm looking at a weeks wait with shipping so this isn't my daily driver. Guess I'll have to make my own oil pan.

I've got a 68 datsun I'm sticking a RB into or going to attempt to... I'm unsure on which one.. I've been looking at all of them and which one of them do you guys think might be better for a little car? I am wanting 300hp that has some reliability of a daily driver and I don't think it is too much to ask of any RB. I'm thinking I'll be best off with a RB25 with what I'm describing, I've searched around on RB's but feel free to school me some more so I can make the best choice for my project on the motor to buy.
